What will happen if you had no knives? What will happen if you had no forks or spoons? And what will happen if you couldn’t pick up your food with your hands? Then how would you eat?

You may try chopsticks.

Most people in China don’t use knives or forks. They use chopsticks instead. These sticks come in pairs. They are a little longer than a pencil. They are thinner, too. And they are made of wood or bone.

How do you use chopsticks? You hold them with the thumb and fingers of one hand. Then you trap a piece of food between the ends of the sticks. And you bring the food to your mouth.

So now you know how to use chopsticks. The first time you try them, you may have troubles. Many people do, but not the people in China, Japan and Vietnam. They grew up using chopsticks. They often start to use chopsticks to pick food when they were only three or four. So they can eat with chopsticks easily and quickly.

Chopsticks are special to the people who use them. Some are carved or painted. Often a person will have his own chopsticks. No one else uses them.

Chopsticks seem more exciting than knives, forks and spoons. But don’t trade your spoons for chopsticks yet. You might be having soup for lunch.
